Goals of Panama vs. Costa Rica which sent Panama for 1st time in history to WC , that 1st goal of Panama

Fuck this american team, like always in american soccer, they dont really give a shit and it shows, they should've kept Jurgen Klinsman and not get scared after 2 games against Mexico and Costa Rica a year ago, i dont think he would've let them play like this in Trinidad.

Damnit. As a half-American, a US-Syria playoff would have been amazingly interesting. Though tensions would probably get high. 

I just feel terrible for the Syrians. And Australia has to be one of the most boring World Cup sides ever. They always show up and are always forgettable. 

US, on the other hand... I'm not really a fan of their team either. But wow... The Russians are probably laughing their asses off Though would have been a good match there too- US vs Russia. 

Go Honduras

in 2006 they've done a great WC , losing only to WC champions in R16 with a suspicious PK in the vary last minute , current Australia could lose to any team and Honduras would be very dangerous at home , they could destroy Australia there , unlike Australia at home became a very weak team , tying with Syria 1-1 , defeating Thailand at 86th minute , a very lucky win over KSA , they don't deserve to go for WC this time IMO

Yeah, true, though that was 2006. This current team, you're absolutely right, doesn't deserve it.

could we have a group of Russia - Iceland - Egypt - Panama  this would be a dream one for us 

[ahjfcshfghb 287]

Congrats on the Egypt, by the way.  @thepharoah

@heywoodu I feel your pain. 

Does the US have grounds to challenge that goal of Panama? It was so obviously invalid. Though England-Germany in the 2010 World Cup comes to mind, so probably not. They shouldn't have had to qualify in such a close manner anyway.

thanks very much  as long as the referee didn't manipulate for a side just as what happened in African qualifiers with Senegal and SA , then we go to the rule of Mistakes are part of football

Well, you can bet the Americans will try to prove he did. Can't be good for FIFA either. Huge potential audience now gone.

It could have been a penalty and Panama would have scored from it also , maybe American media would press on this case who knows , but i think it's almost impossible to replay the match
